rode the hawk again :] and a daytona 675 and of course my rc51 :]
haha i just rode my hawk again tonight. been a DAMN long time. forgot to mention i've been riding around a little harley sportster 883 on weekends away from school. different feel definitely, but its kinda fun whacking the throttle open and it doesnt do much for a while, then u hear that "rolling thunder" come on haha.
but yeah, my friend is thinking about selling his 07 daytona 675, so i asked him if i could "test ride it" LOL. omfg whoever said 600's were slow ?!?!??! i mean, wtf, the bugger HAULED (from my seat of the pants assessment anyways). i mean, its not the same feeling as a twin, but it was VERY respectable. i thought it was gonna be like "oh whatever lemme whack the crap outta this thing" its a shame, i think only my rc51 pulls harder
to those who have asked about rc51 vs superhawk comparisons before: the hawk is 100x easier to ride when you're not cornering at like >40mph. hands down. the hawk is a little heavy yes, but compared to the rc around town, its bloody outright flickable.
mad respect to the 675 though i wouldnt mind riding one at all.

Slow speed on an RC it feels like a truck... But push it and it comes alive...
And nah... the new 600's ain't slow by anyones standard... takes a bit of wringing... but then they are really fast... Feels entirely different as you said though...

I've test ridden the 675 and I thought it was very cool - fast, good handling, good stopping, good looking, too. But at 6'2" it was too race oriented for my typical riding. I'd like to try the Street Triple - it's gotten very good reviews. The Speed Triple ain't bad neither.
